About Bali / Balian
The waves are famous for the long ride and the bottom is not shallow, they can be pretty big but they are not really dangerous. Go out from the left of the river, watch out for the shore break that can be ugly and ride the waves in the bay (pull out on time as the wind drop a little in the bay). This place must be considered for expert only as the condition are really challenging and if you go down the next stop is on the rocks at the end of the bay.
